Presso: Won’t Tell You The Time

From our Vancouver dwelling buddy, Jake Tobin Garrett: Unlike conventional espresso machines, the Presso won’t tell you what time it is.

Friends, still loving my presso

Gemma Cutler of Toronto, Ontario writes… I’ve always been daunted by the big boxy machines I’ve seen on friend’s kitchen counters and have instead relied heavily on my local coffee shops to do the work for me. Dose, tamp and pulls were foreign… concepts. Presso is the easiest espresso maker I’ve ever used and finally [...]
